0:00:25 > 0:00:28PHONE RINGS

0:00:28 > 0:00:31ANSWERPHONE: 'I'm really, really sorry

0:00:31 > 0:00:34'that I'm unable to take your call at the moment.'

0:00:37 > 0:00:41Irene? Irene?

0:00:43 > 0:00:45I believe it was Socrates who said...

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Heston.- Come in.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50You can be my audience. Feel free to laugh uncontrollably.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54"I believe it was Socrates who said,

0:00:54 > 0:00:57" 'Always begin a presentation with a quote...' "

0:00:57 > 0:00:58- Heston.- What?

0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'm not sure about this symposium.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Why?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I don't know if my speech is up to it.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07What a shame.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Although I could...

0:01:09 > 0:01:13No. If you feel so strongly, I will get straight onto the organisers.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Hello? This is Dr Carter. I'm ringing about Dr Clay.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35I'm not sure he's going to be able to make the symposium.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Are you absolutely sure about that?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41You're in the programme,

0:02:41 > 0:02:46and people have already been registering interest on the website.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49So?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53The organiser made it very clear that

0:02:53 > 0:02:58if you pulled out it would not put the Mill in a good light.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01And my speech will?

0:03:01 > 0:03:05I don't think it's as bad as you're making out.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06You think it's terrible.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09I do not. Tweaks. Tweaks.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Some of your speech is really quite outstanding.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Come on. I heard you with Howard last night.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I don't know what you think you heard.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25I heard you loud and clear.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31You have no choice. You have to do the speech.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I'm popping into town now to pick up some brackets. I'll fix it

0:03:36 > 0:03:39and let you know how I get on, OK? Bye.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Excuse me, please.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I need you to see if I've run over a pigeon.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51Yeah. There's no pigeon that I can see.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Are you sure?

0:03:56 > 0:03:58OK! I'll check again.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01No, still no pigeon.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12You've got that checking OCD, haven't you?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Thank you for doing this.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Just making sure I get an invite to the housewarming.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25You seem strangely calm.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27It's just boxes.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31That farm seems to have really sorted you out.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Are Freya's parents OK?

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Yeah. They seemed really pleased for me. How's your dad?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41He's all right. He's a tough cookie.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44He's got my mum and a physio to kick him back into shape.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- That's good news.- Yeah.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- So you're OK?- Mm-hm.- Yeah?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's done! Let's go.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23What have you run over now?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I need to get to Irene's. But there's too many people.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Who's Irene?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32My friend. She called me.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34She's in trouble.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35What sort of trouble?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38I don't know. She doesn't like answerphones.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41So how do you know she's in trouble?

0:05:41 > 0:05:45I just do. She gets sad on her own.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48And she's got an irregular heartbeat.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50No offence, but it seems to me

0:05:50 > 0:05:52that you have a little bit of a Messiah complex.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55So where does she live?

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Bloxley.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01Bloxley? You're going all the way to Bloxley on this thing?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yes.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05How's that working out for you?

0:06:05 > 0:06:06It goes too fast.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09You could always drive slower.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12There's something wrong with the accelerator.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14I can't go less than four miles an hour.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19You're asking a lot of questions.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21Maybe I find you interesting.

0:06:21 > 0:06:26Hm. If I'm so fascinating you can walk with me.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29If you can keep up.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I'm not going to walk six miles with you.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35I don't want you to.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39KNOCK ON DOOR

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Bad timing?

0:06:40 > 0:06:42No. It's fine. What's up?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Just a case I wanted to ask you about. Mr Azmi...

0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK. Could you do me a favour first?

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Could you take a look at that and tell me what you think?- Sure.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56You can't tell when you hit something.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59You can't even see the road in front of you properly.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02That's why cars are lethal.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Well, take a bus.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08Not in a million years. Buses are filthy.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10A taxi cab?

0:07:10 > 0:07:16Same. And a driver groped me a few years ago.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20I can walk a bit. But not to Irene's.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Not with these hips.

0:07:21 > 0:07:27I'm usually all right on the pavements, when they're quiet.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Roads I can't do...at all.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Can I ask what treatment you're getting?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36What for?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38The obsessive-compulsive disorder.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Are you a doctor? - Yeah, the best kind. A GP.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45GPs haven't a scooby about OCD.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46You'd be surprised.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49I happen to have a friend who's a fellow sufferer.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Oooh(!)

0:07:51 > 0:07:56I'm not taking treatment and I've good reason for that, trust me.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00HE DIALS ON PHONE

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- You can walk with me. But don't try and sort me out.- OK.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hold on. Give me a...

0:08:10 > 0:08:11PHONE RINGS

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Hello?

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Jimmi, I've stumbled across the most catastrophic case of OCD.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20This makes even you look normal.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Congratulations.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Who is the top CBT therapist in Letherbridge,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26because they have got to get a load of this?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29The best is probably Dr Marsden.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Graham Marsden?- Yes.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34He taught me at Birmingham. The man's a legend.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- He lives in Letherbridge?- Yeah.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Thanks for your help. Bye.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41You probably won't get an appointment, though. Not at this short notice.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45- It's fine.- Really?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47This is for a court case, right?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49No, it's for a symposium. I know it's bad.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- It's not.- It's just...

0:08:52 > 0:08:54I feel like I'm in a car and the brakes have failed.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Public speaking's all about confidence, I reckon.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58That's fine if you're Heston.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00So why don't you ask him to help you?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Um...- Yeah. Sorry.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Al Haskey? Sorry.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Dr Jimmi Clay suggested I call you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Ah. I know Jimmi.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, I work with him at the Mill.

0:09:15 > 0:09:20Dr Marsden, I've come across this most extraordinary case of OCD.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23I thought you might like to have a look at it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26And is the patient seeking professional help?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Yes.- OK.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, I may be able to do the week after next.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Actually, I was hoping you could fit us in this afternoon.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Not unless they can get here in the next ten minutes.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40We'll be there straightaway.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41LINE GOES DEAD

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Hello? Hmm.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Irene needs help, not me. Leave me alone.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- What are you so scared of?- Nothing.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52One thing I do know about OCD,

0:09:52 > 0:09:56especially extreme OCD like yours, is that it needs professional help.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm not going to see another therapist. No way.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Why not? Surely you're speeding now.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03I'm going to hit someone.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Well stop, then.- You stop!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08That man could change your life.

0:10:13 > 0:10:19Oh... I don't know when it's safe to get off. Agh!

0:10:19 > 0:10:22What happened with the therapist?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24No. I'm not telling.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Really? All right, then.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Wait! Please, I'll tell you.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's just the stupid woman made it worse not better.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32How?

0:10:32 > 0:10:37Please. I'll tell you. Just help me to get off!

0:10:38 > 0:10:43All right. This way. I'm stopping the traffic.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45- That's it.- Oh!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Keep coming. Keep coming.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Keep coming.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Park! Handbrake!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Oh!- You finished?- Yeah.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Now talk.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00Oh... She got rid of my compulsions.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04But then I got a load more new ones.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08And they were much, much more horrible.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Every day was a long nightmare.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14I can't go anywhere near potpourri now.

0:11:16 > 0:11:17This man knows what he's doing.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19If you don't like him, you can walk away.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21What have you got to lose?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24What about Irene?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Do you not think if she was really in trouble, she wouldn't have

0:11:28 > 0:11:30called an ambulance?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Maybe she was just upset?

0:11:31 > 0:11:35What you got was a sales call. Nothing more.

0:11:35 > 0:11:36Trust me.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Will you come with me to check on Irene?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Of course I will.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Promise?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Scout's honour.- OK.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Mirror, signal, manoeuvre.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56Those lucky enough to make fat fees on the after-dinner

0:11:56 > 0:12:02speech circuit swear by the principles of Cicero.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Who?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06One of the greatest orators the world has ever known.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Is he around later?

0:12:08 > 0:12:14"Prove, amuse and delight" was his mantra.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Karen was right. Start with a joke.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Something self-effacing.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23A joke about life as a police surgeon?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Yes, you must have some funny anecdotes.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27No.

0:12:27 > 0:12:33- A pun?- No.- A pithy proverb?- No.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Well, go online. There are websites for that sort of thing.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Fine. What else?

0:12:38 > 0:12:43The important thing is that the audience believes that the

0:12:43 > 0:12:45speaker is enjoying himself.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47That's my point...

0:12:47 > 0:12:50And this starts with body language.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Now...stand on this.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Say your first line.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06"Afternoon. My name is Dr Jimmi Clay from the Mill Health Centre

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- "in Letherbridge."- OK.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13I want you to imagine that the audience...are stretched

0:13:13 > 0:13:16out in a semi-circle.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23And I want you to look at every face...and smile.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Smile?

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Smile.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36- Forget this.- You have to.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Why? Because it will make you look even better? - We leave in ten minutes.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Most people in the world assume somebody else will take

0:13:50 > 0:13:52responsibility and sort things out.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55But what if they don't?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I think I'd rather just care.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03What do you do with that thing all the time?

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Look stuff up.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Every few seconds, fiddling away. You're worse than me!

0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's research. Look how many hits Dr Marsden's got!

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Here's the real thing. Dr Marsden.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Dr Al Haskey.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20OK. And this is...?

0:14:20 > 0:14:21What is your name?

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Beth.- Beth.- Beth Harris.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26Delighted to meet you, Beth.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Can I possibly ask you to fill this in?

0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Just let me know when you're done, OK?- Right.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- So you're with Jimmi Clay. - For my sins.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38- How is he?- He's all right. Nothing compared to...

0:14:38 > 0:14:40What do you make of the Mill?

0:14:40 > 0:14:45It's all right. I'm hoping to branch out, but for the moment it'll do.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48I think that's your patient.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I'll just be a sec.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00What are you doing?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02He had potpourri.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I'll get him to move it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Irene needs me!

0:15:15 > 0:15:19I'm so sorry. Some people are their own worst enemy.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22I imagine she had a bad experience with her last therapist.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26OCD is often treated like some kind of freak show.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31But to treat it properly, I believe, requires considerable empathy.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34But I'm sure I would have told you that on your course.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36What advice would you have given her?

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Miss Harris, specifically, I can't say. What I often do, though,

0:15:39 > 0:15:43is tell my patients to do the most difficult thing imaginable.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47When their OCD is screaming at them to be cautious, to be clean,

0:15:47 > 0:15:50to be over-sensitive to others, to be scrupulously honest,

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'll tell them to do the opposite.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Beth is terrified of roads.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59She constantly needs reassurance she hasn't killed something.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01Well, she should drive like a madman.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03She'd never do that. Not in a million years.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09What are the pavements like around Bloxley?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I have no idea. I imagine it's mostly country lanes.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Right. I'm going to...

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm going to go. Sorry, Dr Marsden.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21No, not at all. Take care.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53"So a friend once said, so a friend, so a friend once...

0:16:53 > 0:16:56"So, once a fr..." No.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01"A friend once said to me, 'Jimmi,

0:17:01 > 0:17:04" 'how many death certificates have you signed off for dead people?' "

0:17:04 > 0:17:05And I said,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08"All my death certificates are signed off for dead people."

0:17:08 > 0:17:10That's not going to work, is it? Not going to work.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27What are you doing, you strange person?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29I can't leave it.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Somebody will get a puncture and they'll crash.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Look, give it to me.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39- But...- Have you cut yourself?

0:17:39 > 0:17:40It's all right.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Ouch!

0:17:43 > 0:17:45What do you mean, "It's all right"?

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'm beginning to wonder if you fancy me.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50I promised to make sure that Irene was OK.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- OK?- OK.- Let's go.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15SHE KNOCKS

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Irene!

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Irene?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Hello?

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Hello?

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Hello!

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Hello!

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Hello? Hello?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Irene!

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Oh, my goodness.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39What's happened?

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I slipped on the grass. My back's gone.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Let me have a look.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46How long have you been like this?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48At least ten minutes.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50What on earth are you doing here?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53I just knew you needed me.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- And I was right.- You were.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Who's this?- This is Al.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- He's a doctor.- A GP.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03No, he's not!

0:19:03 > 0:19:06THEY LAUGH

0:19:06 > 0:19:09I think it was Socrates who said,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13"Always begin a speech with a quotation,"

0:19:13 > 0:19:17but then again, what did Socrates know about anything? Socrates...

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Tough crowd.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21He's looking worried,

0:19:21 > 0:19:24but you needn't because this will be really good.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27So anyway, speaking of quotations, as we were,

0:19:27 > 0:19:29- when I asked my colleagues... - PHONE RINGS

0:19:29 > 0:19:32..what they thought about the loss of the PCT,

0:19:32 > 0:19:38the comments ranged from apathy to utter relief...

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- COUGHING - ..which is how you're going to feel when I sit down.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Is it me or is it hot in here?

0:19:46 > 0:19:49So, um... Yeah.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Are you going to go with them, too?

0:19:51 > 0:19:53No. I'll get a taxi.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Can I give you one small piece of advice,

0:19:58 > 0:20:00even though it does come from a GP?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Go on.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05You don't need to get a lift with them.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- You can make it home all by yourself.- I can't.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12What if I get mowed down, or stuck somewhere?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14What would happen to me then?

0:20:14 > 0:20:16You'd call me.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17But what if I hit something?

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Let me tell you something - you are going to hit many things.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Spiders, ants, flies...

0:20:23 > 0:20:26You're going to kill time and again.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28But I reckon you should set your sights higher.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Aim for a little small bird or a fluffy bunny rabbit.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34No, I mean it.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38And if you do get stuck, you can call me on this number

0:20:38 > 0:20:40and I'll call an ambulance.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42What have you got to lose?

0:20:44 > 0:20:48But if you can make it home on this beast,

0:20:48 > 0:20:50I think you'll feel pretty good.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Will you keep your phone on?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57It's never off.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Right.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Doctor.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- See you.- Happy trails.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32All right, Mand!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- What are you doing? - You left the front door open!

0:21:35 > 0:21:36Look at this place!

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Wow. Lesbians nest quicker than straight girls. Who knew?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41We're here for the house-warming.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- We got sick and tired of waiting for the invite.- We got pizzas!

0:21:43 > 0:21:48- Beer.- And because you can't move to the countryside...

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Aw!

0:21:51 > 0:21:52Ta-dah!

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Wow. I don't know what to say.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Put some music on, girl.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yay! Let's have a party!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Party time.- Whoo!

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Right, open them sweets.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05So, without further ado, Dr Jimmi Clay.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07SCATTERED APPLAUSE

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Terrible audience. Good luck.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12FEEDBACK FROM MICROPHONE

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Sorry, it's fairly nerve-wracking.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Just, uh...

0:22:30 > 0:22:32HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Um, as a police surgeon...

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Sorry, I've got a voice in my head

0:22:55 > 0:22:57and it's telling me, screaming at me,

0:22:57 > 0:23:00telling me that this is the scariest thing I've ever done.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I've got another voice, it's a lot quieter, and it's telling me

0:23:03 > 0:23:06not to be such an idiot because you lot aren't going to hurt me.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11My name is Dr Jimmi Clay...

0:23:13 > 0:23:15..and I have OCD...

0:23:17 > 0:23:20..which means lots of voices in my head telling me lots of things

0:23:20 > 0:23:23that I don't really want to listen to lots of the time.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25It can get a bit noisy.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27You should hear it on a really bad day.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Living with OCD is...

0:23:36 > 0:23:43It's like living with a con artist inside your head, all day, every day.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46It's tricky, sneaky.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53It gives you a million logical reasons why to obsess, or to panic.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56I try my best to ignore it

0:23:56 > 0:24:00but it can be very persuasive, very persuasive.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04And at times I find it completely crippling.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08To work with, to live with,

0:24:08 > 0:24:10to love with - TRY to love with.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13THEY LAUGH

0:24:13 > 0:24:17- I am so jealous! I've never lived on my own.- Really?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19No. Do you know something else?

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Go on.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24I've never been to a bar by myself. In my life.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- What?- Yeah. That's what a long-term boyfriend does for you.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29You have got some serious living to do.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- I'm ready to start.- Yeah?

0:24:31 > 0:24:34I'm going to go out by myself and see what happens.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Soon as I can.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- You'll probably have the best night of your life.- Mmm!

0:24:40 > 0:24:41THEY LAUGH

0:24:54 > 0:24:57Just hold here a minute, mate, yeah?

0:25:01 > 0:25:03That's great. Thanks, mate.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17So over time, with the right people to help,

0:25:17 > 0:25:19I've learned there are ways of living with OCD.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23And I don't just mean coping with it. I mean living well.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25I hold it together just fine in a place of work,

0:25:25 > 0:25:27I'm pretty proud about that.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29And I can honestly say I have lots of friends

0:25:29 > 0:25:31who rely on me to keep them sane, so...

0:25:34 > 0:25:36It's... It's powerful.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's incurable.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43OCD can easily take over your life, no question.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48I suppose if there's anything important to say, then it's this -

0:25:49 > 0:25:51it doesn't have to.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Thank you.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57APPLAUSE

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Is it true you've got one of those infinity pools?

0:26:12 > 0:26:15What business is it of yours?

0:26:15 > 0:26:19Then there was Carl, who could identify 80 types of tractor

0:26:19 > 0:26:21- just by listening to the engine sounds.- Ooh.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23- No comment. - Did he let you borrow it?

0:26:23 > 0:26:24I didn't do no borrowing.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27You've got no driving licence, no insurance.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30You can tell it's dead classy! There's no pictures on the menu.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32It's not a kebab van.
